McGill has a DUI arrest in 2012, missing almost that entire season while rehabbing a serious shoulder injury. He missed his junior season and had a medical red-shirt year because of the injury.

The Raiders made a similar gamble in the draft last season, taking Oklahoma defensive tackle Stacy McGee despite having a DUI and marijuana citation. McGee, a sixth-round pick, had a solid rookie season and figures into the defensive tackle rotation in 2014.

Considered a talented corner at 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, McGill played at Cerritos College in Norwalk, Ca., before transferring to Utah. Already 25, McGill has a 7-year-old daughter.

As a senior at Utah, McGill was named All-Pac-12 with 12 pass deflections.
